Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn has a 35.5 percent approval rating according to a new poll from Southern Illinois University, against 56.4 percent disapproval. Quinn has struggled since pulling out a somewhat surprising victory in 2010 after taking over for previous Gov. Rod Blagojevich, who was impeached by the Illinois Legislature for corruption and ultimately convicted on federal charges.
On the Presidential side, President Obama bests all challengers in his home state, as former Mass. Gov. Mitt Romney comes the closest with 38.5 percent of the vote to Obama’s 46.1.
